Related to the surface of Romania, the Danube Delta is situated in the Southeastern part of the country, it has the shape of the Greek letter "delta" and it is bordered in the Southwestern part by Dobrogea Plateau, in the Northern part by the Ukrainian border and in the Eastern part by the Black Sea.

The Danube Delta is crossed by the parallel latitude of 45º North and by the meridian longitude of 29º East.
Its surface, together with the complex of lagoons Razim-Sinoe measures 5050 km²; from which 732 km² belong to Ukraine. Delta alone has a surface of 2540 km² and this surface increases every year with 40 m because of the 67 million tones of alluvial deposits brought by the river.
